well, would start with a pediatrician, and from there hopefully they can refer you to an incontinence specialist, or possibly an urologist if deemed necessary.
good luck, my son has this same problem, and still waiting for a good fix!!
my brother had the same problem and the pediatrician gave him a buzzer to put in his underwear and when it got wet it would beep REAALLLY loud (my room was next to his)
I am assuming you first went to your pediatrician for blood work and urinalysis........At the hospital, I'm assuming you would want to see a urologist to rule out a medical problem. You may need to see a child psychologist if it turns out not to be medical but emotionally caused. There are several emotional reasons that can cause this condition. I hope it is a temporary condition that is easily solved........GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU!!!!!!!!!
that is psychological. i wet the bed when i was little. my parents tried not to embaress me... i think thats probably the best way to go about it.
talk to him about it. make sure he does not feel judgement and try different strategies together, what does he feel causes it?
there really is not medicane or anything to get rid of it but you can have him wear diapers at night until he learns how to stop at night
start with your pediatrition, but expect him/her to refer you to a psychologist (assuming your child has no medical problems). It could very well be depression/stress, and, unfortunately, i speak from experience as a bedwetter. Please, please PLEASE do NOT punish/humiliate your child (as my parents did me); it will mess the child up terribly. Give them lots of love and be patient; most often the bedwetting is cured in time. Sincerely, good luck, i feel for both you and the child. (i started wetting the bed due to my parents' divorce when i was three-- has your child suffered anything similiar?)
First thing that you have to think about is is it hereditary??? Parents who have problems with bed wetting some times have children who have the same problems. I know that I had the same issue and my youngest daughter also had the same problem until she was about 12 years of age. What we did was use pull ups until she out grew it. As for which doctor you should take him to start with his pediatrician if it's genetic you don't' want have to put him through unnecessary tests. The pedicatirian will determine if he needs, nephologist ( a doctor who deals with kidney diseases. Because they will determine if it's caused by an organic cause. IF it's genetic than it a matter of time.
